STEM Fun for My Kindergarteners
Funded Apr 7, 2025I cannot thank you enough for providing the funds needed for materials that my kindergarten students can use and engage in STEM activities. Not only are you supporting them in the present but you are helping them set up for success for years to come. You are giving them the opportunity to explore areas of interest as they are beginning to think of their goals and future aspirations.”

Funded Nov 2, 2024My students were so excited as we gathered around all the packages and opened them together to find so many amazing items that they can use to enhance their kindergarten experience. They work hard, are motivated and eager to learn. With today's higher expectations for academic learning, I wanted to keep in mind that they are still 5 and 6 year old students who still greatly benefit from play.
They have enjoyed engaging in pretend play in our Dramatic Play area using our new sets of realistic pots, pans and utensils that they love to cook with, while tending to the multicultural dolls in the center. Our block center has come to life with new neighborhood signs as students are now able to use the community worker toys along with vehicles, further enhancing what they learned about communities in Social Studies. The activities for math and reading are adding a pop of fun to the daily academic skills that they are working on. These activities have helped them become more engaged and in turn more successful in mastering their goals.
Most importantly, you have given our students the sheer joy of play and meaningful ways to interact with others. Many of the materials provided are used at the end of the day during choice time and as a teacher, my heart is full when I watch them make their own choice of what they want to engage in and decompress after a busy day of learning.
Thank you so much for making these opportunities come to life by donating these much needed materials and for helping my kindergarteners enhance their learning though play.”

Funded Feb 22, 2024My students were so thrilled when our packages of decodable books were delivered to our classroom. They have been working so hard on their phonics skills and have been eager to put those skills into reading actual books.
They have been showing such an interest in reading, now that they have books with words that they can actually decode. They also really enjoy having such a variety of books to choose from and some have already identified their favorite ones that they go for whenever it is time to read. The best part is, even during choice/ play time at the end of the day, they have been requesting to read these books with their friends.
Thank you so much for making these reading opportunities come to life by donating these much needed decodable books and for helping my kindergarteners embark on a successful reading journey!”
